Ending a marriage is anything but easy. However, if it is clear that it is the right time and it is best for spouses to part ways, couples can usually move forward with the process with a good perspective. Whether spouses are able to approach the process open-minded or with much spite and anger, a divorcing couple has to address certain divorce issues before finalizing the process.

When someone decides to divorce, they often confide in family or friends about their situation. These conversations can be important in defining goals and finding support during an emotional time. However, moral support is a far cry from solid advice and guidance. Commentators and divorce lawyers often discuss the myths and misconceptions that many people have over divorce.

If a couple decides to forego a prenuptial agreement, it is possible to take the same protective measures with a postnuptial agreement. In fact, many married couples are seeking to protect assets by drafting a postnuptial agreement just in case a marriage ends in divorce.

The decision to end a marriage can be difficult for couples in Minnesota. However, taking such a major step is often necessary for relationships that no longer work and cannot be salvaged.

Whether you are married or not, it is likely that you are aware of the daunting divorce statistics of our nation. Because roughly 40 to 50 percent of first-time marriages end in divorce, couples in Minnesota and elsewhere consider having serious conversations prior to getting married. While it is difficult to talk about dissolution before a union starts. Nonetheless, this could help the couple avoid serious disputes and divorce issues if the marriage ends.

The decision to end a marriage isn't always an easy one. For many Minnesota couples, the process starts with separation. Maybe there is a chance that the couple will reconcile. However, if it is deemed appropriate to make this separation final, the couple can then move forward with the divorce process. Whether the decision to divorce occurred over several years or weeks, it is a major life event that is not simple to make or go through.

There are a lot of things to consider when going through a divorce in Minnesota: property division; alimony; and, when children are involved, child custody and child support. Depending upon your relationship and the character of your soon-to-be ex-spouse, it is not uncommon for one side to attempt to pressure, persuade and coerce the other side into making less than fair or ideal decisions.

In Minnesota, there are a number of reasons a family court judge may order alimony in a divorce case. Alimony, also called spousal support, is often appropriate when one spouse left the workforce for a period of time to raise children, and needs some financial help to regain self-sufficiency. It may also be ordered when the marriage lasted for many years and one spouse earned significantly more than the other.

Decades ago, most married couples in Minnesota consisted of a husband who earned the family income and a stay-at-home wife who took care of the home and children. When these couples divorced, the ex-husband was typically ordered to pay alimony to allow the ex-wife to maintain the lifestyle to which she was accustomed.
